If you live in a house put the stuff in the basement.

Man this community is going to have a lot of content for the next 4 years.

I actually wonder if Saudi Arabia will try to talk down Trump in helping Israel. It's not like they want a regional war in their backyard. Not to mention what it'll do to the oil prices around the world.

Oh so nuclear weapons are a good way to prevent an invasion?

Harris campaign manager is the absolute stupidest person.

Wonder how they'll treat the Israelis if they act the way they did in Amsterdam.

Because it grows on bushes.

Are they giving you any kind of red flags? If not, it could just be generic awkwardness as you figure each other out.

I make them at home myself.

It is technically breaking the law but doing so in an effective manner. You're right in that sense. At the end of the day protesting is to yell and scream to make your voice heard and sometimes, not always, you have to make disruptions to have your voice heard. It's very situational and not an easy question to answer.

It was non-violent civilians disobedience. They weren't fighting, they were protesting. Which can be argued as legal, given the rights afforded in the US constitution.

They were a part of American society and worked within the law to improve it and advocate for better rights (for the most part, I don't recall if they broke any laws intentionally).

A lot of societal progress is done from within. Women's suffrage, MLK or Malcolm X with black rights, Gandhi with Indias independence. These things do happen.

More like trying to stop war crimes from happening to begin with. Doesn't always work admittedly but we should try to where we can.

There wouldn't be historical examples of that happening because if it works then it's there's no example to draw from. The closest thing I can come up with is figures like MLk or Gandhi who advocated for better progress and standing in their society while working within it. But I can't give examples of when this kind of mindset stopped a bad thing from happening in the first place.

There does come a point where you have to cut your losses however. Reminds me of a quote that I'm having trouble digging up where it talks about how there were plenty of good people who were Nazis who tried to steer the direction of what the Germans were doing. The quote ended with essentially saying it didn't matter what their motivations or intentions were, history just remembers them all as Nazis.

There's also ghe argument that being part of it can give you the opportunity to speak against it. Regardless, I don't blame anyone for making the decision you described. It's very situational and not at all an easy question to answer.

Glad to hear it.

It'll happen regardless of whether or not you're in the field. Don't let that stop you.

When I heard about Project Nimbus I imagined this was the use case. Cloud computing to catalogue all Palestinians and identify targets. You're automating oppression and ethnic cleansing at this point.

That would be big if it happens. Not sure what that would mean for the current Ukraine conflict.

I'd also bet that part of the deal is that Iran will go nuclear as well.
